Fishing With Burt Baits Chocolate Orange

The 2nd of April was the warmest day of the year so far. So I cut some grass on the campsite and with the evenings getting lighter I decided to go down the lakes for a few hours fishing.

Testing out Burt Baits, our new bait sponsor in 2017!

Chocolate Orange Catches Well!

I was using Burt Baits chocolate orange ground bait, which does smell nice!

This year we have teamed up with Burt Baits and they are our bait supplier this year, so I thought today was a good test to try out the ground baits on offer.

Having cupped in a few balls of the chocolate orange, I started to catch lots of silvers some nice sized rudd and plump roach. Catching silvers each time I shipped the pole out, this is great if you’re in a fishing match, but I like to target carp mainly.

I kept feeding regular, and the chocolate orange was turning the water a cloudy orange and the carp started to move in.

Fishing on the pole, only 3 sections out and about 4ft to the bottom, I caught quite regular and had 15 carp in total, and 30+ rudd and roach. I also had an eel about 3lb!

The carp were a mix of common and mirror ranging between 1lb and 7lb. I think the sudden warmer weather putt them off the feed a little as most of the carp were just basking in the sun on the surface.

Overall, I was extremely happy with the few hours fishing and will be testing out more of Burt Baits in the coming weeks.
